Raut
The magazine founded by Najbrt as a response to the visual limits of the Reflex weekly was subtitled “a soirée with the best and brightest”, but the company was typically eclectic – from president to forester. Even the composition of the editorial staff symbolised omnivorousness: it included artists, actors and poets. The magazine continued in the striking and ornamental aesthetic set by Najbrt in Reflex, but in purity and size corresponding to Najbrt’s ambition. With the 50 × 70 cm format, Raut, where he was editor-in-chief, art director and graphic designer, fulfilled the vision of monumentality and presented topics without ideological restrictions in refined but accessible form, with a clear dominance of Tono Stano’s photographs. Their theatricality and melodramatic nature was akin to Najbrt’s unbound typesetting. Alas, even his energy did not manage to keep the title afloat for more than five issues – the last one was published in November 1995. A year later, Raut received the bronze medal of The Tokyo Typedirectors Club and the Grand Prix at the 17th Brno Biennial of Graphic Design.
